Breaker Blocks

Track order blocks that have been violated and flipped — powerful re-entry zones after liquidity sweeps.

Overview

A breaker block forms when price closes through an existing order block, causing it to flip its role in the market structure. A bullish order block that gets broken becomes a bearish breaker, and vice versa.

The mechanism works through institutional participation: when price returns to a breaker zone, trapped participants must exit their positions, adding momentum to the directional move.

Settings

Display Breaker Block — Toggle (default: on) Master control for all breaker block visibility.

Bullish Color — Color picker (default: green, 80% transparent) Appearance of former bearish order blocks broken to the upside.

Bearish Color — Color picker (default: red, 80% transparent) Appearance of former bullish order blocks broken to the downside.

Show 50% Line — Toggle (default: on) Renders a dashed midpoint line. This is frequently the most precise area within the block where price reacts.

Max Visible — Integer, 1–50 (default: 10) Controls quantity of recent blocks displayed simultaneously; older blocks are removed as new ones form.

Hide When Invalidated — Toggle (default: on) Automatically removes breaker blocks when price closes through them in the invalidating direction.

How We Use It

Breaker blocks are most effective when confluent with higher timeframe FVGs or key liquidity levels. The 50% midline serves as the primary entry target — price rarely fills the entire block cleanly on a retest.
